Visiting Walla Walla Valley Wine Country?
Curious about how the "Magic" happens in winemaking?
Want to go behind the scenes & add to your knowledge of wine?
EVERY SATURDAY @ 1pm, join the Cru @ Forgeron Cellars Downtown Walla Walla Winery & Tasting Room for a Winery Tour & Tasting beginning this Saturday, February 1st!
Forgeron Cellars provides wine enthusiasts who are looking for more than just a “Tasting Room” experience, an opportunity to sample some of Washington’s most elegant wines. Located in an old blacksmith shop at 3rd & Birch, Forgeron Cellars is within easy walking distance from Walla Walla’s major hotels and restaurants.
As guests tour through the tank and barrel rooms, they are given an intimate look into the mechanics of winemaking while being treated to award-winning red and white wines. Every tour includes insight into Marie-Eve’s winemaking philosophy and how it affects each individual wine’s character and makeup.

Steppe Cellars will have three different cheese plates for you to sample along with your wine. Each plate comes with a description of the cheeses including some of the attributes that make it a good match with particular wines. Choose from our Pacific NW cheeses plate, our international cheeses plate and the O.S.U./ W.S.U cheeses plate which puts Oregon's Beaver Classic head to head with Washington's Cougar Gold. Prices range from $7 - $9.

Join a group tour from the Yakima Visitor Center (across from the Target Store) with like minded people. Your tour guide is a part of your group, with preferred status at Yakima Valley Wineries. Learn about wine, local agriculture, taste, enjoy, relax on the comfortable easy 'walk-on' (small) bus, and leave the driving to us! We attempt to match our guest's wine interests with the wineries' offerings. No two tours are the same. Join us! $65 per seat, or call for a group rate. Reservations highly recommended!
We encourage you to bring a lunch and/or snacks. Lunch is not included in the price of the tour, but there are wineries offering food items on weekends this year.
Tasting fees, if any, are not included in the ticket price.
